How did the Universe and life begin? We shall visit ALMA, the largest radio-telescope in the world, where research is carried out to find out the origins of the Universe through 66 giant antennae placed in the Chilean high plateau. We’ll hear and dance a “cueca” dedicated to the Big Bang, played by a Chilean folklore group, and we shall look for life under extreme conditions in the almost Martian red waters of the Rio Tinto river, in Spain. At the La Silla Observatory, in Chile, we wonder whether it is possible that life on Earth was brought by a comet, and we shall also watch a mapuche indigenous community during the ritual del We Tripantu, that coincides with the Winter Solstice and marks the re-birth of life. ------- Chapters ▷ 0:00 - Intro ▷ 01:59 - The Origins of the Universe | Children of the Stars (5/10) ▷ 49:29 - Credits ------- ------- Children of the Stars is a voyage through the history of the people of America and their vision of the sky, since the earliest civilizations until

In this chapter, a physicist from Uruguay tells us about the vision of Mars that science fiction and comics have conveyed to us and wonders whether mankind is ready to coexist with other types of life, such as might be found on a planet like Mars. In order to research the likelihood of life on Mars, NASA has carried out experiments in the Atacama Desert, which we shall visit, since this is the most similar place on Earth to the red planet. We will become acquainted with the Curiosity, a robot sent to Mars, and meet a Colombian astronaut who has trained to travel to the red planet. Finally, we shall visit a factory of rockets with state-of-the-art technology, which may soon take us to Mars. ------- Chapters ▷ 0:00 - Intro ▷ 02:13 - Mars | Children of the Stars (2/10) ▷ 51:19 - Credits ------- ------- Children of the Stars is a voyage through the history of the people of America and their vision of the sky, since the earliest civilizations until the present.

How do constellations influence us nowadays? We begin our trip in Easter Island in Polynesia, in order to find out how the Pleiades Constellation marks the calendar for the people in Easter Island, then we will continue to the Strait of Magellan in Chile, to discover how the Southern Cross served as a guide to ancient sailors. We shall watch the operations of the largest telescope in the world at Paranal in the North of Chile, and nearby, in Chiu Chiu, we’ll delve into the vision of Andean cultures regarding constellations such as the Chacana. Finally, we meet two youngsters at Combarbalá who managed to save the Cruz del Sur astro-tourism observatory from dust pollution, thanks to their creativity. ------- Chapters ▷ 0:00 - Intro ▷ 02:20 - The Southern Cross | Children of the Stars (6/10) ▷ 48:45 - Credits ------- ------- Children of the Stars is a voyage through the history of the people of America and their vision of the sky, since the earliest civilizations until the present.
